When was the last time you felt that raw spark of curiosity… and ignored it?

I mean real curiosity. Like, seeing a headline about dark matter or AI swarms and thinking I should dive into this,

but then doomscrolling, or opening Slack, or just skipping it.

We ve made science feel like homework.

I m building something to fix that. But for now, when was the last time you were curious about something weird or wonderful and didn t follow it? Why not?

Introducing Ambassadors: For Makers, By Makers

When I first launched on Product Hunt, I had no idea what to expect. I wasn t sure anyone would notice our little startup, and honestly, I felt intimidated. Everyone seemed so established, and I didn t know where I fit in.

But then something incredible happened. A kind comment from @aaronoleary. Encouragement from the PH community. Support from the Product Hunt team when we ran into issues. A hunt from @benln. A thoughtful reply from @rajiv_ayyangar himself.

  • That first launch became Product of the Day.

  • We were later nominated for Product of the Year.

  • In 2023, I was named Community Member of the Year.

  • And now in 2025, I ve been invited to serve as a Product Hunt Ambassador!

If you could automate one boring founder task, what would it be?

You re the founder of a tiny startup. Time is tight, stress is high.

If you could instantly automate ONE boring task, what would it be?

Curious what others would kill to offload.

Launching globally from Kazakhstan. Silicon Valley would say ‘wait, where?’

When we started building our social app out of Astana, we heard from other startups that we needed to be building out of Silicon Valley. Kazakhstan just wasn t on the map.

But then Higgsfield AI came out swinging from here, and suddenly global VCs started name-dropping them like it s proof they re open-minded now.

It s wild how much location bias shapes a startup s first impression until someone else makes it cool.

Do investors really care about the team and the problem? Or is your HQ address still the first filter?

How we plan software projects that actually ship on time at Clueso

Hey Product Hunt, I'm the founder and CEO of @Clueso, a tool to create stunning product videos in minutes with AI. I wanted to share how we refined our process of making sure we ship big software moves on time.

Too many times as a company, we ve found ourselves making bold promises both to customers and to ourselves internally and then scrambling to meet them.

What’s the simplest product you’ve used that genuinely improved your daily life?

I ve been building a smart home product that s meant to quietly improve people s lives without adding complexity, which got me thinking

What s one simple product (physical or digital) that genuinely made your daily life easier, better, or just a bit more enjoyable?

Maybe it s a tool that automates something boring.
